Greek Speak

I never pledged a sorority in college. I figured I was already Greek. Despite that, my friend Laura (she owns Trumpet's Uncle Domino) asked me if I would come and speak to her Pan-Hellenic club about Art Everyday. (Laura's not too smart as is evidenced by the fact that she asked me to talk.) She further offered to pay for my gas - I figured it would be about $1200 to get the Yukon down to Peachtree City so I happily agreed.

On the E-vite that Cele sent out, she told everyone that I had been on HGTV. Not true. Should be true, but alas, erroneous information. (She constantly confuses HGTV with Dog the Bounty Hunter). So I started out my introduction by dispelling several rumors and myths -- celebrities need to do this all the time.

1. I have never been on HGTV, but have been known to watch it.
2. I have never piloted the space shuttle.
3. I have never been playmate of the year.
4. I have never won the Iditarod.
5. Any hopes of getting "cultured" as a result of my little speech were completely unfounded.

The club President, Chantal, graciously hosted the meeting in her lovely home. I met lots of nice ladies, sealed the exits and yacked about how I got started on Art Everyday (Debbi Crane) as well as how I went from corporate statistic to mixed-up media artist and book author in less than three years. The ladies were wonderful - my favorite kind of audience: captive.

This is Debbie. She missed the group photo so we took this one. She's an absolute hoot! Debbie was the only person in the group who had heard of CPS or Etsy. No worries, I am evangelizing the message of collage and hope to the masses. Debbie has a darling Etsy shop where she makes tassels out of vintage salt and pepper shakers. I want one from the dog of choice, Deb.

Thanks to everyone at the ASCAPA for suffering me and for this neat-o Certificate of Appreciation - so sweet! A special thanks to my girlfriend,Laura for the great intro and the fab salad at Tea Fusions. Y'all were great hostesses. I'd love to come back next year if you'll have me.
